📍 MT 387- BATONG AMAT

Mt. 387, also known as Batong Amat, has become famous in the mountaineering society due to its proximity to Metro Manila. It also is beginner-friendly (or so I thought).

Its popular name among hiking enthusiasts is Mt. 387 since the area of this reserve spans for about 387 hectares.

Since it was a Holyday Season, we were the only hikers when we reached the registration area. We actually see other climbers on the day of our visit considering this mountain is a mainstream hiking destination.

This is definitely one of the most sought time of the day by a hiker whenever he’s scaling a mountain. The golden hour. Everything glows as the sunrays hit the contours of the landscape.

We took a breather at this spot where we planted our seedlings bought from the registration area. We continued our trek and I immediately saw this expanse of brown hills on our left side. We rested by this shade to take some photos and munch on our snacks while savoring this awesome view.

There was no one else aside from us so it’s best to take advantage of this opportunity. After all, I always see hiking events being organized here every weekend. By the right side of the trail is this mountain range which is also a great backdrop for our photos.

A few more meters across is this scenery of fields and mountains. We continued walking towards the summit. It was still early and we got lots of time to enjoy the spectacle along the way.

The famous “Lovers’ Tree” is waving from afar against the beautiful view of the hills. We moved closer to the best part of our hike. I finally saw these picturesque hills in the flesh. We took advantage of this moment and took a lot of photos since there was no one around aside from us. The brown rolling hills proved to be a great sight from Lovers’ Tree. It would have been a nice experience if we camped out and spent the night here. I already listed Mt. 387 as one of the places I would revisit for sure. The lighting condition was also perfect for us to achieve shots like this.

After getting enough rest (we were not really exhausted yet since the hike to the summit was relatively short and easy), it was finally time to bid goodbye to Lovers’ Tree and continue our journey. We continued walking and I noticed that the trail was pretty much straightforward, easy and flat (again, or so I thought).

Traversing this mountain to Aloha Falls in the middle of the day when the temperature is at its hottest was something I wouldn’t do again. The trail for doing the traverse was absolutely a challenging one, even for experienced mountaineers like us. The descent was too steep and there was nothing we could hold on to except the sharp blades of grass. Thank the gods I got my gloves with me. My bad for not being able to take any photos of the trail. We were so preoccupied with keeping our footing firm as we descend.

It was past lunch time when we reached the jump-off. Our cooked meals which we ordered in advance were already waiting for our hungry bellies.

Tips/Reminders:

➡️ Mt. 387 is also known as Batong Amat.
➡️ The hike to the summit takes about 1.5 – 2 hours depending on your pace. It will take another 2 – 3 hours to traverse this mountain to reach Aloha Falls.
➡️ Doing the backtrail is advisable for beginners but traversing Mt. 387 to get to the falls is not recommended for first-timers.
➡️ Bring enough hydration since most of the trail is exposed to the sun. The only water source could be found near Aloha Falls.
➡️Always check the weather first before scaling Batong Amat. Expect rain during monsoon season (June-February).

Contact Sir Roy Manuzon in advance if you will be hiking Mt. 387 so he could arrange the guide/s for you.

📍 CALISITAN WATERFALLS 🌲🍃

Calisitan Watetfalls is located in Brgy. General Luna, Carranglan, Nueva Ecija. The site has three waterfalls that are surrounded by lush virgin vegetation. Going there is already an adventure because the site is located amidst cultivated farms and forested areas.

Dubbed as the “Little Baguio” of Nueva Ecija, the cool mountain breeze is an experience to remember. Indeed a favorite place for local tourists.

📍 BAGUIO CITY 🌲🍃⛰️

My first experience and little bit about Baguio City Philippines 🇵🇭

The first time I have been in Baguio I was really happy because my dream finally came through, it was such a good feeling because it seemed like being in other country already. The climate is generally more cold than the rest of the Philippines. I really enjoyed the fresh air, low temperatures, and the fog early in the morning. It is very rare to experience the fog in Philippines and unlike in the other countries we like to see the fog and its magic.

But the Baguio is not just a cold place, it's a well known touristic spot mostly visited by Filipinos searching for the refreshing and little bit different environment that they are living in every days life. The landscaping and all the plants and trees are making the place particularly picturesque. The place itself and the nature are quit clean, farmers and local people are very hospitable to visitors and they do take care for the clean surroundings. If you are more active type you can choose between many hiking trials or you can ride a horse,enjoy the Mines View, or even visit the strawberry farm and taste the fresh strawberries. Many couples will choose Baguio to make nice romantic photos.
